We asked our network: How will technology change
the way we behave in the home of the future?
They said: it wouldn’t.

Technology doesn’t drive behavioural change.
Entrepreneurs and venture capitalists back
technologies that respond to existing needs.

So, in the home the future, which human behaviours will tech
companies capitalise on?

behaviours and ways technology will respond to them in the home of the future.

We’re lonely and isolated
1 million older people in the UK regularly go a month without speaking to anyone.

Sympathetic Housebots Rather than waiting for the grandchildren to call, we’ll enjoy interacting with playful, AI-enabled housebots who’ll know our personalities, likes and behaviours.
![Page 9: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
We’re living for longer
Thanks to advances in medicine, the elderly are becoming the majority demographic in
the developed world.

Wearable Soft Robotics The home of the future won’t have stairlifts or accessible baths for elderly residents - wearable exoskeletons will enable mobility inside and outside the home.

We live in an economy of extremes
Britain’s rich are 64% richer than before the recession, while
the poorest are 57% poorer.
![Page 13: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Of all major supermarkets, only Lidl, Aldi and Waitrose grew in sales last year
![Page 14: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
or Haute
Designer food We’ll either prepare haute cuisine easily thanks to Chef Watson, or rely on basic and cheap satisfaction from nutritional aids like Soylent. But we won’t be spending big on a new kitchen.
![Page 15: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
We want experiences, not things
78% of Millennials would rather spend money on a valuable experience than
a desirable item.

‘To travel more’ tops more bucket lists than anything else
![Page 17: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Virtual rooms We’ll use Virtual Reality to create the home office or gamesroom of our dreams, rather than acquiring expensive, mass-produced, and hard to move furniture.
![Page 18: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
We prefer sharing over ownership
The UK sharing economy is valued at £22.4 billion, with cars, holiday homes and DIY
equipment the most shared items.
![Page 19: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
AirBnB: 350,000 hosts; 25 million visits

Community-owned driverless cars We’ll live in communities that share fleets of driverless cars and delivery vehicles rather than having flash cars as personal status symbols.
![Page 21: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
We want to work flexibly and independently
Online work, freelancing or working in the ‘gigging economy’ is now seen as a highly
attractive career option by 87% of students.
![Page 22: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The explosion in freelancing platforms
![Page 23: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Housing software brands As ‘gigging workers’ find it hard to make regular rent payments, housing associations need to be more like financial ‘software’ brands, and less like fixed ‘hardware’ providers.
![Page 24: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
We’re super-mobile and super-urban
Today, more people than ever before live in urban centres - and by 2030, 92.2% of the
UK population will live in a city.
![Page 25: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
AAAll this for just £1,000 cpm
![Page 26: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Hypercommuting As cities fill up, the rich will ‘hypercommute’ between ideal homes and urban workplaces. But poorer workers - working flexibly and by the hour - will travel constantly and in short bursts. Nobody will do the traditional 9-to-5.
![Page 27: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
We want everything now
46% of millennials would rather pay more for instant delivery than wait.

AA The Amazon ‘dash’ button
![Page 29: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
On-demand furniture 3D printing will enable us to download and personalise a whole range of furnishings in minutes, so no more wasting the weekend on trips to out of town IKEAs.
![Page 30: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
We outsource memory and choice
A recent study revealed we have ‘Goldfish Memory Syndrome’ - a third of women
under 30 can’t remember their own phone number or recall the birthdays of three
close relatives.
![Page 31: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
AANetflix thinks it knows what you’ll like…

Predictive analytics powered by drones Predictive analytics will spot our typical patterns of behaviour and anticipate when we’ll want a bath running, or a fresh pint of milk and some Nurofen delivered by drone. So no more emergency trips to the corner shop.
![Page 33: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
We prefer communities of interest
We’re stuck in “filter bubbles” - search engines shield us from information which
they think will be irrelevant (even if they’re serendipitously interesting).
![Page 34: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
AAFacebook offers you more of the same based on what you ‘like’
![Page 35: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Digital gated communities We’ll see a rise in ‘communes’ and ‘gated communities’ - places created to suit people based on shared digital and physical preferences.
![Page 36: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
We’re platform dependent
Apple has nearly 800 million iTunes accounts. In June of 2013, iTunes had 575 million accounts. That’s a growth rate of
40% in one year on a very mature product.
![Page 37: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
AAApple’s ‘move to iOS’ app will allow frictionless platform-switching
![Page 38: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Suites of services Housing brands of the future will offer a family of products - both services and properties - not just one-off housing units.
![Page 39: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
We’re into 3 ways of paying
The 3 most common business models of the internet age are:
1. Pay as you go / on-demand 2. Free (but ad-funded)
3. Subscription
![Page 40: How we'll live in the future: technology and the home](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c37d52bb61eb705e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
AA1. Now TV 2. Gmail 3. Spotify

Three payment models 1. Short-term rent options of six months or less. 2. Free to own housing that monetises your data. 3. Subscriptions to housing platforms that let you move between properties globally.

Sexbots We’ll have in-home, storable sexbots for instant gratification rather than long-term lovers or guilty one-night stands.

1. AI & robotics
2. Disruptive business models
3. Big data & predictive analysis
